Carl Zeiss: Revenue Tops Four Billion Euro Mark for Very First Time
Carl Zeiss ended fiscal year 2010/11 (reporting date: 30 September 2011) with a clear increase in revenue and earnings over the prior year: with a total of EUR 4.237b, revenue topped the four billion euro mark for the very first time (prior year: EUR 2.981b). Earnings (EbIT) totaled EUR 607m (prior year: EUR 423m). The positive development in business, bolstered by a favorable trend in the economy at the beginning of the past fiscal year, was sustained both by strong organic growth in revenue (ten percent* above the prior year) particularly in Asia and America and in the Industrial Metrology, Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology and Medical Technology business groups, and by the full consolidation of the Vision Care business group.
Strong International Growth
Business outside Germany accounted for 87 percent of total revenue. Particularly strong growth was observed in Asia: here, after currency adjustments, the company posted an increase of 12 percent* and generated revenue totaling EUR 626m (prior year: EUR 542m). In America the Carl Zeiss Group increased its revenue by 11 percent* to a total of EUR 975m (prior year: EUR 898m). The positive trend in the business with cooperation partners continued: revenue rose 10 percent* to EUR 1.222b (prior year: EUR 1.110b). In Europe the technology group generated growth of 9 percent* after currency adjustments. Here, revenue totaled EUR 1.301b - including EUR 485m in Germany (prior year: EUR 1.190b, including EUR 415m in Germany).
At the end of the fiscal year, EbIT (Earnings before Interest and Taxes) lay at EUR 607m (prior year: EUR 423m). Earnings before income taxes totaled EUR 569m (prior year: EUR 324m). Earnings after income taxes amounted to EUR 386m (prior year: EUR 208m).
